100km Course Description

THE WAY OUT
The race rolls north on NH-7, past a couple intersections that will be marshaled. After 37 km of
rolling terrain, some really long flyovers, exposed highway, and south-westerly crosswinds to deal
with, the race "descends" 8 km, on straight and fast highway, to the U-turn point. The U-turn will
be marshaled and will have a neutral feed station.

THE WAY BACK
The first challenge of the course is the 8 km of highway climbs from the U-turn point. Once that is
behind you, the race continues to go south until the marshaled right-hander that has you crossing
the highway and put riders on the approach to Nandi. Here, you have to deal with a block headwind,
a railway crossing, a series of low speed humps and a false-flat all the way to the base of
the climb.

THE EPIC CLIMB
Nandi Hills is a double headed climb. The total climb is 7.34 km at around 5%. The first 4 km is the
shallower bit to a saddle point where you switch from Nandi I to Nandi II. The last 3 km to the
summit of Nandi II is steeper, includes some steep switchbacks and kicks to the finish!

THE WAY OUT
The race rolls north on NH-7, past a couple intersections that will be marshaled. After 23.5 km of
rolling terrain, some really long flyovers, exposed highway, and south-westerly crosswinds to deal
with, and fast highway, to the U-turn point. The U-turn will be marshaled with whistle and will have a neutral
feed station.
This U-turn is 5 km into the Chikkaballapur bypass and U-turn point is a median gap.
Watch out for traffic.

THE WAY BACK
The race continues to go south 17.8km until the marshaled right-hander that has you Nandi crossing
the highway and put riders on the approach to Nandi. Here, you have to deal with a block headwind,
a railway crossing, a series of low speed humps and a false-flat all the way to the base of
the climb.

RIDE TIPS

Try and get a long ride (or two) around the 3hr+ mark in this weekend

It will take anywhere from 2:45 to 4:30hrs to complete this distance

Drink: 600ml/hr, so that’s a minimum of 2-3 bottles

Eat: 200-300 Calories/hr (800-1200 kJ/hr)

Replenish electrolytes lost in sweat through Gatorade, Enerzal or Electral

The human body can, in theory, go forever, so everyone can finish this distance,
provided you fuel it right
